[QoL] As for Dark Knight, we have equally focused on her awakening. First of all, we have made changes so that Air Strike could activate the same effect when in Succession and in Awakening modes. The bound effect that used to be applied on extra hits when using Main Weapon Air Strike will now be triggered only when the floating effect of the first hit has not been applied. Other than this, we have considered your opinions and made improvements that would allow you to use skills such as Grip of Grudge, Cluster of Despair, Trap of Vedir, etc., which were not used as frequently as the other skills, in a more varied situation.
[QoL] Cluster of Despair used after the following skills will now be comboed faster than before. Twilight Dash Spirit Hunt I. II, III Smoky Haze I, II, III Trap of Vedir
